When purchasing a property in Spain there will be costs that need to be considered. Both on new and resale properties the tax rate stands at 10%. On top of this there will be notary charges, land registration and we advise you have a lawyer. I cannot give you an exact amount but 13% should be enough to cover everything with no surprises (cost of lawyers vary). If you intend to get a mortgage in Spain, this will inflate the cost, as there will be a startup cost and extra notary charges.

The beauty of the golf courses in this area is the different challenges they present. No two are in anyway alike.

Villamartin Golf.

Villmartin is the original golf course in the area. In 1994 it hosted the Mediterranean open. Jose Maria Olazabal came out victor after a playoff finish. It offers golf for all standards, every club in the bag will be needed at some stage. It is 6005 meters off the white tees PAR 72. It is still a fair challenge to the ladies at roughly 1000 meters less off the reds, definitely worth a visit. My personal favorite hole is the 17th a long par 3 with a fantastic two tier green.

Las Ramblas Golf.

There is so much that could be said about Las Ramblas Golf. The fact that it could be built in the location with so many ravines and hilly slopes is quite an achievement. Far tougher than Villamartin I would suggest playing it first time with someone who knows the course and can give sound advice. Good club selection and a straight aim are required to master this challenge.

Campoamor Golf

Now for something different: If you are like me a long hitter but not the straightest, Campoamor is a great place to enjoy a round. Much more of a parkland course, but don´t think it is an easy ride as the greens are hard to hit and 3 putting is an easy hobby to start on the lightning surface.

Campoamor Golf also has a Hotel on site along with football pitches, tennis courts, Padel courts, Wellness centre and a whole lot more.

Colinas Golf and Country Club

Probably the top golf course in the area: Situated just out the back of Campoamor Golf on the road to San Miguel de Salinas is a fantastic new course surrounded by breathtaking countryside. When playing the course the hills around give the feeling of seclusion. The sand and water hazards can make you think twice about being brave.

Golf Properties for sale:

Depending on budget and criteria, there are many properties available on the golf developments, ranging from an apartment on Campoamor golf starting at around 80,000 euros (some bank repossessions), up to a frontline villa on a large plot with private pool and good location costing closer to 800,000 euros, with townhouses and Penthouses also available in various price brackets.

Orihuela Costa has become a very popular place to both buy a holiday home and move on a permanent basis. There are many reasons for this. These include easy access to some fantastic golf courses ( Villamartin Golf, Campoamor Golf, Las Ramblas Golf and Colinas Golf.). If golf is not what you are looking for don´t panic as the many beaches in the Orihuela Costa area are all sandy and will keep you occupied. They stretch from Playa Flamenca to Campoamor including La Zenia and a nice bay in Cabo Roig along the way.

For entertainment and food you have a large choice of where to go. The original plaza in the heart of Villamartin is still a popular choice. This choice has now expanded, as La Zenia Boulevard offers a vast variety of food choices from Tapas, pizzas, steaks and many more. Often there is entertainment along with a large screen in a central position that can be viewed from most locations. A further choice would be La Fuente centre, located outside the gates of Campoamor and Las Ramblas Golf. In the summer some bars have live entertainment every night. This is also the location of our office.

Climate in Orihuela Costa.

A large reason for making a purchase in this area is the fantastic climate. Even in the winter months you can see highs of up to 20 C plus. There are salt lakes in the area these make for a healthy air quality. Some people even move here for health reasons. Arthritic problems can be less harrowing, aches and pains can fade away.

In the past few years the market has started to really move and new developments have been starting up with modern design housing. This new style has proved to be very popular with many projects selling long before completion of the building. There are still a few bargains around but for how long I can´t answer.

We specialize and have a vast selection of properties for sale in Las Ramblas Golf. We find this very popular with both golfers and non-golfers. The reason is even if you are not a golf fan the houses on this development are of high quality with marble floors and bathrooms. Plus the location is hard to beat as the shops and beaches are only a short drive away. It is very hard to find anywhere in Spain this close to the coast with so much green area and nature on hand. If you fancy a lazy day by the pool, Las Ramblas has extremely nice community areas which are seldom busy.

Patrimi is the main builder on this urbanization and new promotions are being released on a plot with good views of green zones. It is possible to reserve a new modern apartment with a 40% payment and pay the rest when the property has been fully completed. If you decide to go down this route Magellan will make this a very easy process and take the stress out of buying. We promise to send photos of progress throughout the various building phases of your new home. If you would like us to we can give you details of many lawyers known to us or you are free to find your own. We don´t believe in, in house lawyers as the lawyer should be working for your interest only and be independent of our company. We will still be around after you have moved in your property. To give you advice on anything you may need. You can be confident that you have a contact in us who can arrange anything you require.

Trivee:

You will also find Trivee properties on our website. They are building new modern promotions in and around the Villamartin area. Recently they were very successful with a beach apartment project in Cabo Roig. They are now branching out with a new beach project well under way in Mil Palmeras. Closer to the golf they are now building low level apartments all with spacious terraces for good outside living. They like Patrimi have plots in key locations.
